NEW YORK (AP) — Police officers in full dress uniform are being joined by neighborhood residents at a Bronx church for a wake honoring the life and memory of a New York City police officer slain while on the job.

The line outside World Changers Church extends several blocks as people wait to pay respects to Police Officer Miosotis Familia.

She was shot and killed while sitting inside her police vehicle last week.

Metal barricades are lining several blocks of the Grand Concourse, with some officers in helmets, vests and other heavy gear standing watch.
